- Biography
- Helene Johnson was a poet of the Harlem Renaissance. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts, educated in the public schools of that city and at Boston University. She attended Columbia University in New York City in 1926. Johnson was the youngest of the African American writers of the Harlem Renaissance. She published approximately twenty-five poems which appeared in such magazines as "Opportunity," "Fire!!," and "Vanity Fair," as well as in "The New Negro." Her writings usually were concerned with life in the ghetto and a strong identification with her racial heritage.
